Cecil Aldin RBA (British, 1870 - 1935), 'Old Up 'Oss', (Jorrocks), watercolour, signed, label verso, 43cm by 29cm, framed.
Mr Jorrocks is one of the great comic characters of English literature, a cockney who is as blunt as John Bull, a grocer from the city, with a sharp cockney accent, who enjoys the sporting life.
Provenance: from the private collection of Christopher Pacey-Day, amassed over the past 60 years, a businessman, councillor, and passionate art collector from Rugby, Warwickshire, whose late wife was the ballerina Sylvia Lorden.
